Is Your City Council District on the Ballot?

Half of the seats on the Austin City Council are up for election this year, and let’s be honest, these are the races where local voters have the most impact and are also impacted the most. To break down everything Austin voters need to know about the races for council districts 2, 4, 6, 7, and 10, executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec is joined by Liz Pagano of the Austin Monitor. And for more on these important races, check out the Monitor’s reporting, and the League of Women Voters Austin Area’s voters guide. 

Plus, stay tuned after Liz’s interview for a special segment: A mile in their boots, where we feature the unsung heroes of Austin. Today, we’ll hear from Lauren Hartnett, who is a huge part of the magic of Cherrywood’s Halloween parade and festivities.  And hey, one more thing. During this episode, we discussed how the elections calendar was changed in 2020 to align with presidential races. But to clarify, that change only applied to the mayoral elections. Shout-out to council member Mackenzie Kelly for pointing this out!

We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
